Yeah that stretch of highway is between I-35 and I-10 to bypass Austin. And lots of I-10 and I-20 are at 80.

Ideal speed depends on the vehicle, with these trucks probably 55 is a better bet. One time I got 23 mpg with the 4x4 Tahoe doing 45 most of the tank.

Fuel mileage dropped severly! 9 MPG! Then I realized the return line was leaking, repaired that after work today. Hopefully the next tank will be better

Managed to get 18.1 mpg on a similar trip and floored it up the "Hump" again..also hit the big hill slow due to a loaded excavator on a low bed.

Cruise set between 90-110 km/h depending on the stretch of highway. Never cruised above 2k rpm.
